Teac's GF-650 tabletop player enables vinyl-to-CD transfers

by Darren Murph, posted Sep 13th 2007 at 7:03AM


It's been a hot minute since Teac introduced its first tabletop vinyl-to-CD sound machine, but the retrofied device is getting an appreciated upgrade in the GF-650. This unit touts an AM / FM radio, auxiliary input jack, wireless remote, CD player, and of course, a record player. As expected, users simply load in a CD-R / RW, queue up their favorite record, and walk away (or hang around, it's up to you) as the real-time transfer takes place. As for output, it's got a meager 3.5-watt x 2 amplifier, and it should be on sale right now in Japan for a staggering ¥83,790 ($740).

$125,000 record player runs on Mars Rover motor

Behold the Clearaudio Statement. If you listen carefully you can hear the sighs of a thousand audiophiles at the sight of this incredibly excessive record player. The $125,000, 770-pound unit -- based around the same motor that they used in the Mars Rover -- turns a platter to such exacting specifications that, well, we're not really sure why it needs to do that. But suffice it to say that there isn't a lot of vibration or unevenness up in here. Neither does common sense reign. Be sure to follow the link for more audiophile porn.
